Procrastination.... It is in fact universal, I'm living Proof

For those of you who don't know, I'm a huge Ellen DeGeneres fan.  In her "Here and Now" stand up routine she talks about procrastination... it becomes one huge joke throughout the whole set, but by far the best line was her closing line -

"Procrastination isn’t the problem, it’s the solution. So procrastinate now, don’t put it off."

Ellen Degeneres: Here and Now
the clip gets good around 2 minutes, and the procrastination part starts at 4 minutes...
watch it, you'll enjoy it... i promise

Seeing as Ellen is always right in my opinion, I've decided to take her advice, and that is why I am now blogging instead of starting my paper that is due tomorrow. 

First of all, I need to make a shout out to those who helped me with my security clearance woes -- without your secret communication channel I would have never been successful in getting my fingerprints taken this week.  It was quite the experience.  Security at the Embassy is very peculiar, and they made me drink from my water bottle in order to prove that I wasn't smuggling poison into the embassy.  When I was finally in, the lady at the booth looked at me like I was crazy for trying to get my finger prints taken.  I explained to some mean man that I needed them for an internship at the USAO.  He asked me if they told me specifically to go to the US Embassy. I replied that they weren't very helpful in giving me instructions... And he just scoffed and said "typical, no surprise there".  I then informed him I was under them impression that there was a finger print kit there, and he got very suspicious and asked me how I knew that... Finally I had to ask for a secret source I was given because they mean man was of no use.  I should have told him that it shouldn't be "typical" for the embassy staff to be so rude and useless.  However, I was eventually saved and successfully got my fingerprints taken and ink all over me. 

Today I went on a field study to the Cold War Museum in Denmark.  Now my first thought was, "really, the Danes were so involved in the Cold War that they even have a museum about it?" But upon further reflection it made sense seeing as they are part of NATO.  The museum wasn't really a museum, it was in fact a 2 room building... with a lot of missiles and guns nearby.  The really cool part was the underground fortress.  IT WAS HUGE.  There were in fact 2 fortresses with series of tunnels stretching over 2 km connecting them.  Also, it was right on the water, so when we opened one of the doors to the bunker we were actually hanging out on the side of a cliff! We played around with the guns pushing buttons that said fire and destroy... typical activities for kids who are about 10 years old.. not 20, but needless to say we were entertained.

I suppose I should get back to my paper, and by get back to my paper I really mean start writing my paper.  Procrastination can't last forever... or can it?  Ellen, do you have any answers to this?
